What is the weight range for fryers?

The weight range for fryers in rabbit showmanship is generally recognized as 3.5 to 5.5 pounds. This category is defined for young, market-ready rabbits that are ideal for meat production, ensuring that they are of a size suitable for culinary purposes. These weights indicate that the rabbits are still young enough to be tender yet developed enough to meet market standards.

Understanding this range is important for participants in rabbit showmanship, as it reflects the rabbits' development stage and is critical for showcasing animals intended for meat production. The other weight ranges listed do not align with the accepted standards for fryers, as they may either describe different classifications of rabbits or indicate sizes that are too large or small for the fryer category.
